SONG SUNG BLUE

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson shine as two troubled souls drawn to each other as much as they are to their shared love of Neil Diamond in this joyous musical drama from Craig Brewer.

In the mid-1990s, ageing Milwaukee single dad Mike meets single mother Claire; both of them are passionate about performing, despite their inability to write their own songs. Enamoured of Neil Diamond, the man behind hits like ‘Sweet Caroline,’ Mike talks Claire into starting a Diamond cover band, calling themselves Lightning & Thunder. They quickly fall in love and get married, blending their families and building an audience with their propulsive live performances. But personal tragedy awaits, threatening to dash their dreams.
